Woodland Spring is the story of spring-blooming woodland wildflowers of the eastern US. It will include photographs and descriptions, closeups and landscapes. It will tell the "story of spring" in the forests from Iowa to New Jersey and Michigan to North Carolina and Tennesse. And from time to time, I will include photos that are completely different, just for the fun of it.
I found this plant yesterday while walking through the woods of southern Virginia. This Dutchman's Breeches has PINKINSH flowers instead of the typical white. It is not unheard of, but it is uncommon! This hint of pink in the petals gives an idea that the pink color of "bleeding hearts" (a domesticated relative) is indeed a natural phenomenon, just selected for intentionally (by humans) over time. Genetic variation is pretty cool.

I love to do nature photography, especially wildflowers, especially during the spring. But anytime of year is ok with me, as long there aren't too many mosquitoes.
